o yeah. I started messing with it last night. Soooo addicting. Just fuck with shit until you get a good idea of what it does, then go on youtube and watch some vids and your set. I've had so much fun with it so far.

When you're done with Portal 1, get Portal 2. It's on demonoid.

Prey: http://preyproject.com/ if your Mac is stolen you can retrieve it with Prey, look at the criminal via the webcam and ridicule him on the web.

And the rest of the program's of Adobe's CS5's Master Collection:

But on a serious note, if your using your computer for school work and stuff it might be helpful to get paralells which is the same thing as boot camp, allows you to run two operating systems at once. As of right now I have my original snowlepard, and I got Windows 7 on my mac, its pretty boss for doing shit like zipping files and folders and stuff that is much more complicated on a mac. I highly recommend it.

Vuze.

i just got it a couple days ago and its pretty fucking sick. its like limewire and you can search for movies and music to download and you can also use it as a torrent downloader to get movies and albums off piratebay or something.  Then you can wirelessly sync your computer with your xbox 360 so you can watch the movies you downloaded on your tv

i had parallels for awhile. it basically runs a virtual windows computer on your mac so you can run any windows programs on your mac that you wouldnt be able to run on your mac operating system.  i now have crossover which pretty much does the same thing and allows me to open programs made for my windows without having to create a virtual windows computer and take up a bunch of harddrive space
